Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Chief Operation Livai Driu has confirmed that police is beefing up on their other strategies in the North following the drug-related 42 arrests between January 17 and February 12 this year.
Police had uprooted more than 20,000 plants believed to be marijuana in Savusavu two weeks ago.
“We have not totally pulled out from the operation, we have other strategies in place,” ACP Driu said yesterday.
